Dear Parents and Carers
In yesterday’s Assembly, we paid special tribute to Mrs Michele Marquet for her leadership of the School over the past 12 months. Mr Geoff Lovell, the President of School Council thanked Mrs Marquet along with Dr David Thomas, on behalf of the Common Room and myself on behalf of the Staff. Mrs Marquet returns to be Head of the Junior School at the start of Term 2, and we thank her for her leadership of all areas of the School over the past year.
We are looking forward to the return of Year 9 from CITF. They have enjoyed fantastic weather and have been an exceptional Year Group whilst on course. They should arrive back at School by 4.30pm tomorrow afternoon.
Congratulations to our 1st XI Football team who advanced to the next round of the CIS Football Cup defeating St Philip’s Christian College 3 – 1 in a convincing victory. The next round will be played early in Term 2.
Very best wishes to all students who are embarking on Sport and Service Learning tours over the holidays. Our skiers will travel to Livigno, Italy; our Footballers head off to Spain and Portugal; our senior Rugby players are off to the Gold Coast; AFL to the Northern Territory; and as part of our Indigenous Education, we have students travelling to Central Australia to be on Country.
We look forward to welcoming Mr Stuart Meade, who will be our Acting Head of School in Term 2. To our new families, Mr Meade is well known to the School having been a Deputy Head of the Senior School, and has served as a Principal of two schools.
I would like to wish all families the very best for the Easter break and hope that you all enjoy some quality time as a family.
Happy Easter!
Best Wishes,
Bob Meakin
Head of Senior School / Deputy Headmaster
